@boilingsteam because $HOME mounted on a NFS share leads to unexpected delays, git and npm become slow. I've been running jobs in a cluster, as the number of workers increases access to data becomes costlier.

@boilingsteamOn a second thought, I might use BitTorrent to spread data to the workers. It looks like an ideal setup. I have one BT node at the beginning, when I start many jobs, traffic to the initial BT node will be reduced, as workers will share data between themselves.
